I get it every time I try to do a google search but I haven't clicked the Captcha box because it looks a bit scammy. Obviously I can't ask google... I used to get it when I did a lot of searches in a short time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now, use duck duck go… Meanwhile download Malwarebytes Free and run it, declining the upgrades and stuff. That’ll give a good check. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched the Bernie Madoff series on Netflix and I've been googling the names of people who likely knew exactly was going on while making a shit load of money out of his blatant Ponzi scheme.

MSU Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 18 hours ago, hk blues said: Trust Pilot has it at 4.4 out of 5. The only 1-star reviews seemed to be related to the issues around Covid etc so maybe nothing to worry about. 16 hours ago, scottsdad said: I applied once back in around 2000. I was very, very tempted to go. Went to the interview in Edinburgh and the guy who was interviewing me (more of a chat) was explaining it. 6 days a week, 14 hours a day, shit money. But, he added, you get Sundays off and there might be pretty girls working there. The fact he kept touching my knee and his general creepiness made me decide not to go in the end. 15 hours ago, welshbairn said: Used to be the kind of thing people would do in their gap year, cheap way to spend some time in the US and maybe save enough for some travelling around. Haven't heard of anyone doing it for years. 4 hours ago, tamthebam said: They advertised jobs in these camps when I was a student years ago. I passed. A general loathing of snotty brats would have led to a recreation of the Jonestown massacre with me as the Rev Jim. Cheers, folks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leith Green Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I had to buy a pair of door handles as part of a job I was doing today, the job was close to an excellent Ironmongers at Canonmills, so popped in to pick some up. When the owner rang them thru, the price came up as £ 16.90 I didnt really want to ask, but is this a sign that the owner is a closet currant bun? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was your cue to give him the handshake and then they’d have come down to a tenner. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swarley Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Probably storing dangerous pathogens or radioactive gas. Maybe don't open it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Anyone got any recommendations for selling jewellery? Other half is looking to flog a Cartier watch that she inherited from her gran when she died years ago and has never worn / will never wear. Feel like Ramsdens etc will give shite offers by default and more upmarket places will pull your pants down, not really sure where to start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
